The War in the Desert Far Away

 

Many are saying that the Ukraine is not our problem; that Canada should stay out.

Unfortunately, it is our problem. To stay out is the stance of the evil weak, allowing the woman to be raped in the stairwell, so long as she is a stranger. 

Collective security protects us all; its failure is a threat to us all.

What is happening is unambiguous. Russia has invaded a neighbouring country. Even Russia is not pretending otherwise.

Canada can do little by itself, and perhaps little in combination with others, but we are obliged to do what we sensibly can.
